There are so many different bathroom designs in homes in Folsom, CA, that it is hard for us to keep up with the latest trends at Glass & Shower Experts! We do shower doors and shower enclosures for everything from old Victorian houses to the newest construction sites, and everything in between. One trend we have been seeing a lot of lately is a custom shower enclosure. It seems that the days of tucking a shower in behind three walls of fiberglass or tile are long gone. Now what people prefer to do is to put a shower head and drain basically in the middle or corner of the bathroom and enclose it with two or three walls of glass. We have to admit, this makes for a very large and open-looking bathroom, and a wonderful and light-filled showering experience! At Glass & Shower Experts, we love working on custom shower enclosures, and are eager to help you make your shower the delightful haven it should be.

Glass showers are more sanitary than tile
Many conventional bathroom designs use regular bathtubs with tile or fiberglass, finished off with a shower curtain. This is certainly an affordable way to fit out your bathroom, but it is far from the most sanitary and clean way to do it? Why? We’ll start by discussing the smaller of the two problems: tile. Tile is notorious for growing mildew in the grout between tiles. You can clean it, but it only goes so far to remove the mildew from its source. In order to really get tile clean, you have to take a toothbrush and meticulously scrub every inch of the grout, and who has time to do that regularly? Fiberglass bathtubs and showers are better than tile for keeping clean, but even these kinds of showers have joining places that can get mildew. Glass is by far the shower material that is easiest to keep clean, and with a custom glass shower enclosure from Glass & Shower Experts, your daily regimen can really be as simple as running a squeegee over your shower and being done with it.
Glass showers hold fewer germs than shower curtains
If tile is bad for mold and mildew, shower curtains are even worse! With shower curtains, you have folds of fabric and vinyl that water pools in and is held in, so they are the perfect breeding grounds for mold. The bottom of the shower curtain is rarely ever dried all the way, so you end up with the bottom of your shower curtain getting covered in mold and mildew. Even so-called mildew resistant shower curtains still have this problem. You can bleach your shower curtain, and you should, but nothing makes up for the fact that shower curtains grow mold like nothing else in your bathroom! Glass shower doors, on the other hand, don’t have folds where water pools. Just squeegee dry and you’re done!
